"The body is less forgiving. But it happens gradually. You still enjoy life in the same way but you make certain adjustments. You realize that you're not a machine."

Of the shift from 'playful' action films to more 'angsty' movies, Schwarzenegger said: "It's not like my old films were set in Berlin in 1943 against some historic event. That has to be done seriously.

"But with us it was like, 'Hey, let's blow up some cars, let's kill some people, let's swing through the trees, blow up a building and move on'."
